Unpacking & Cars

Ok, dear readers, it has been 7 whole days of unpacking hellishness and I can finally see the end! I am going to finish up this morning and then do NOTHING all day! It's gonna be splendid. We are blessed to have the most space we have ever had...but still every bedroom closet (except ours) is chock-o-block full of Rubbermaid tubs of stuff. We simply must downsize our "crap" before we move again. It was a tad difficult going from having a garage storage space in MO to an 8x8 plastic shed in the backyard here. But we've found a spot to shove everything as of this morning and I am very happy that the last of the giant boxes are waiting to go out to the trash! Unpacking has to be up there on the list of "Horrible Things to Do"...right behind packing.

J just left about 20 minutes ago to fly to CA to bring the kids back for summer! Hooray!! As much bitchin' as I've done about the unpacking, I am THRILLED that everything is all settled for them...the 2 oldest have their own rooms and the youngest is sharing her room with the office space. So they should be happy...plus, as a special consolation if they're not, WE'RE LIVING IN JAPAN. So I hope it works for them. ;) (I am kidding, they are very easy-going kids, they will love it)

So, as you can imagine with all the unpacking, we haven't done many blog-worthy things lately. But, summer is officially here so you can expect interesting things very soon! This coming weekend we are heading to the Ninja Village so that should be epic. Until then, please enjoy the pictures we just snagged of the Mini Cooper I have been lusting after since we got here. Many of you who know me well can possibly hear in your head the squealing sound that this car makes me produce...I cannot help it. It is involuntary. It is SO. STINKIN.ADORABLE! Oh and you'd better believe I left a note on this dude's windshield with a plea for him to PLEASE PLEASE call me when he wants to get rid of it! Now I can only hope that it's not 1) $4000 or B) 3-1/2 years from now.
